Texas Peach Crisp Skillet

The Academy Awards are coming up next week, so I’ve teamed up with 15 other bloggers to bring you an Oscar-themed recipe party and giveaway! I’ve chosen to share a recipe inspired by American Sniper.

I’ve never created a recipe based on a movie before, so I wasn’t sure where to start! I really enjoyed the American Sniper movie, so I started brainstorming how I could make a recipe based on it.

The main character in the movie, Chris Kyle, is from Texas. I started researching desserts from Texas, and came across a peach cobbler. There were several variations, so I combined some of my favorite elements of each one to create this dessert.

This dessert ended up being closer to a peach crisp. A cobbler has pie crust on the bottom with biscuits on top, while a crisp just has a layer of crunchy topping.

This dessert is so easy to make! There are only a few easy ingredients, and you will have them mixed up and baking in minutes. I was surprised at how quickly I had it ready from start to finish. Perfect for quickly satisfying a dessert craving.

Grease or butter a cast iron skillet. You can use whatever size you have, just know that the bigger it is, the thinner your crisp will be. I used two 6-inch skillets.

Pour the peaches and syrup into the skillet on medium high.

While you wait for the peaches to boil, mix the flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt until crumbly.

When the peaches get to a boil, sprinkle with topping. Place in the oven and baked for 15 minutes or until topping is browned.

Enjoy with vanilla ice cream.
